\"#EXCERPT\"<\/a><\/p>\n

#EXCERPT from Chapter 1<\/h1>\n

While Katherine fumbled with her key, the handsome man\u2019s steely blue eyes bored through her. A bead of sweat formed at the base of her skull and slowly trickled down her back. She became cotton-mouthed. No longer a silly teenager, why did he still have this effect on her after all this time?<\/p>\n

When she finally managed to keep her hand steady enough to insert the key and turn it, he spun her around and mashed his mouth on hers. His tongue teased her lips open and he pulled her to him. Her pulse quickened and she let herself melt into his strong arms, those years apart, non-existent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we don\u2019t soon go for that drink, I won\u2019t be responsible for my actions.\u201d His voice was husky.<\/p>\n

At that particular moment, Katherine wanted time to stand still. Pressed against him was a place she could spend the rest of her life. She nuzzled her head into the hollow at the crook of his neck and hugged him tighter. He caressed her forehead before disentangling himself from her grip and wrapped his arm around her.<\/p>\n

The tang of the salty North Sea and fumes from the ships in the harbour lingered in the heavy air. Those smells, while powerful, couldn\u2019t mask the seductive aroma of men\u2019s cologne. When they dated before, he wore Hugo. Was he wearing that now? Held next to his muscular body and inhaling his scent, Katherine lost her balance and toppled into him when one of her stiletto heels slipped into a crack between the cobbles. Despite the streetlights, shadows formed. The gaps between fixtures were dark. No wonder she twisted her ankle.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you all right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a bit clumsy. You would never know I walk this street every day in these boots. I feel like an arse.\u201d Her cheeks burned from the heat of her blush.<\/p>\n
